jsshDB files are simple text files and if you append a new Key/value pairs to the end of the file it overwrites
an existing key/value pair. We use this behaivor for "fast" file operations.
"slow funtions" simply add a new key/value pair without deleting an existing key/value pair, this is fast but over (long)

A jssh fileDB consists of maximum two files witch must reside inside BASHBOT_ETC or BASHBOT_DATA.
A jssh fileDB consists of two files which must reside inside BASHBOT_ETC or BASHBOT_DATA.
- `filename.jssh` is a text file containing the data in the format as json.sh outputs.
- optional file `filename.jssh.flock` used for read/write locking with flock
- `filename.jssh` is a text file containing the key/value data in json.sh format´s.
- `filename.jssh.flock` is used for read/write locking with flock
Path names names containing '..' and absolute path names pointing outside BASHBOT_ETC or BASHBOT_DATA are refused by jsshDB functions.
Path names containing `..` or not in BASHBOT_ETC or BASHBOT_DATA are refused by jsshDB functions with an error.
Since version 0.94 jsshDB functions support file locking with flock. Write / Update operations use flock to wait until
previous operations are finished. see "man flock" for more information. Bashbot uses a maximum timeout of 10 seconds for flock.
Since version 0.94 jsshDB functions support file locking with flock. Write/Update operations are serialised with flock to wait until
previous operations are finished, see "man flock" for more information. To avoid deadlocks flock is used with a timeout of 10s for write and 5s for read operations.
If you don't want atomic write / update operations use the *_async variant of jsshDB functions. If flock is not availible
the *_async variant is automatically used.
In case flock is mot availibe or you don't want locking, jsshDB functions will be used without file locking by using *_async variants.
